Channel 4 under fire over planned ‘Sex Box’ show
Channel 4 has hit the headlines with its unconventional format for a new TV show, locking amorous couples up in a sound proofed wooden box before dissecting the goings on via a question and answer session.
To be screened next month sex box will see three couples have sex in the studio before answering intimate questions from a ‘sex panel’ and the studio audience.
Ostensibly conceived in order to fight the rise of pornography, improve relationships and promote ‘fearless communication’.
Morality campaigners have taken a different view however, believing it to be nothing more than a lurid stunt geared toward luring in viewers, although no nudity will be shown.
Presented by Mariella Frostrup the show forms part of Channel 4’s ‘Real Sex Season’ whose highlights include a documentary on teenage pornography addiction.
Those taking part include a pair of childhood sweethearts who are now engaged, two gay men in their 30s and a young couple said to be in the ‘first flush of love’.
